 |
the laidback lobby. no fuss, comfy and unpretentious

FEEL: outside, it feels like a tropical resort with the wonderful indoor and outdoor pool, the two storey building, inside the rooms, it feels like the modern 5-star hotel you see in the cities.

THE FOOD: they have an international buffet for breakfast which is standard in these hotels. they also serve some Egyptian dishes
